One of those shapes used is hexagon. Individual structures can be connected together to create a greater structure complex.

Description

This application is a continuation application of application Ser. No. 13/783,300 filed at United States Patent and Trademark Office on Mar. 3, 2013 by the present inventors, which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Background
There is an ever growing terrorist threat in the world. The main targets of the terrorist organizations around the world are small military stations along the borders close to where terrorist organizations established. These military stations also known as military police stations are usually poorly made structures and therefore they may be defenseless against terrorist attacks. New police stations called the “castle stations” may be built and used to meet the requirements of protecting habitants from terrorist attacks. However due to harsh weather conditions and transportation difficulties in rural areas it may be challenging to build these “castle stations” and often helicopters are used to carry construction equipment which makes it impractical to build these stations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A fast inflatable blast proof structure in a pack proposed. The structure can easily be transported to a site by helicopters. Air compressors can inflate the pack. The structures can be in different shapes. One of those shapes used is hexagon. Individual structures can be connected together to create a greater structure complex.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A container box, when inflated will turn into a tent like building. Columns and walls are made of carbon-fiber composite material. Once inflated columns are treated with resin to harden them and then filled with concrete to act as columns of the building. The walls will be pretreated and attached to the columns. The walls will be filled with durable material such as concrete, sand or a composite material to strengthen them.
The building is blast resistant and bullet proof. Therefore the building can be used in battle zones.
The inflatable building provides shelter for its habitants from attacks. It can be transported easily and easy to deploy. During manufacturing one module of shelter is placed in each box. Each shelter will have about 64 square meters of usable area when inflated. The deployment of the shelter and finishing up the structure by adding concrete to it upon deployment will at most take about couple of days. The building once deployed and finished can withstand external threats such as earthquake, explosions, and bullets.
The building is a portable, light and compact structure. It can be deployed by a helicopter. From the start of inflating the building, it can be ready for residency within 48 hours. It can be fully furnished and ready to be lived in within one week. It is a multi-modular structure. Easy to build, easy to use, easy to maintain and easy to fix during and after a combat. It is blast resistant against RPG, hand grenade, mortar and plastic explosives. It is bullet proof against high velocity bullets and 0.30 to 0.45 caliber bullets. It is fire proof. It is easy to clean and easy to repair. It is self sustainable. The roof can carry solar panel and rain water collection system is used. The structure is portable. FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) material is used. Carbon-fiber composite material is preferred, but other materials such as fiber-glass and Kevlar can also be used. Resin infused Carbon-Fiber FRP is used because of its strength to weight ratio. The structure is compact. It can be folded and fit into a container. Container is a light container and portable. It is water resistant, wind resistant, heat and cold resistant. The container acts as a protective shell during the period of storage of the structure. The structure is inflatable and water proof against snow, rain, extreme winds, freezing cold and extreme hot.
FIG. 1 shows Blast Resistant Inflatable Building (BRIB) 17 which comprises columns 8, walls 2, door 18, windows 19, ceiling arches 11, roof sections 4 and ceiling arch center point 21 wherein all ceiling arches 11 are connected to. In FIG. 1, BRIB 17 is shown in a hexagonal shape. The shape can be triangle, rectangle, pentagon, hexagonal or any other suitable shape. In this embodiment hexagonal shape is used. There are six columns 8 that are connected to each other with six walls 2. Each column 8 has ceiling arch 11 connected to it wherein ceiling arches 11 connect to each other at ceiling arch connector 21. Before BRIB 17 is packed in a box, roof sections 4 may be attached to ceiling arches 11 and walls 2. This way, when the box is opened, ceiling arches 11 are inflated. Roof sections 4 are formed between ceiling arches 11 as they are attached to ceiling arches 11 and walls 2 before inflatable building is packed in a box. Alternatively, BRIB 17 can be packed in a box without attaching roof sections 4 to ceiling arches 11 and walls 2. In that setup, roof sections 4 are attached to ceiling arches 11 and walls 2 after the box is opened and after ceiling arches 11 are inflated.
FIG. 2 shows another view of Blast Resistant Inflatable Building (BRIB) 17. Hexagonal shape is used to form BRIB 17 in this embodiment. However any other shape could be used. There are eight columns 8. Each column 8 is connected to another column by wall 2. The top of each column 8 are connected to ceiling arch center point 21 by ceiling arches 11. There are six ceiling arches 11 and there is one ceiling arch center point 21. Roof 4 is placed between two ceiling arches 11. BRIB 17 is automatically inflated when the box is opened. Alternatively, air can be inserted into ceiling arch center point 21, and the air moves into ceiling arches 11 and columns 8 such that BRIB 17 structure inflates.
FIG. 3 shows another view of Blast Resistant Inflatable Building 17. Hexagonal shape is used to form BRIB 17 in this embodiment. However any other shape could be used. There are eight columns 8. Each column 8 is connected to another column by wall 2. The top of each column 8 are connected to ceiling arch center point 21 by ceiling arches 11. There are six ceiling arches 11 and there is one ceiling arch center point 21. Roof 4 is placed between two ceiling arches 11 and walls 2. BRIB 17 is either automatically inflated or manually inflated from ceiling arch center point 21. When air is inserted into ceiling arch center point 21, the air moves into ceiling arches 11 and columns such that BRIB 17 structure inflates.
FIG. 4 shows column 8 and wall 2 connected to each other. Column 8 has shell 13 and inner part 12. Shell 13 is made of bi-axial carbon fiber tubes. However any other material can be used in shell 13. Wall 2 has inner part 11 and side 9. Wall 2 material is pretreated carbon fiber panel. The design is portable therefore a collapsible mechanism is possible.
FIG. 5A shows how BRIB 17 can be combined with other inflatable buildings to form larger structure 53. Wall 12 can be placed around larger structure 53. FIG. 5B shows multiple BRIB 17 are connected together. The shape of BRIB 17 in FIG. 5B is hexagonal. FIG. 5C shows inflatable buildings that are in rectangle shapes. FIG. 5D shows pentagon shapes and FIG. 5E shows triangle shapes. All these shapes can be used to build BRIB 17. FIG. 5F shows multiple inflatable buildings 17 in hexagonal shape being connected together to form a larger structure 54.
